    Radius Determination of Solar-type Stars Using Asteroseismology: What to Expect from the Kepler Mission
    For distant stars, as observed by the NASA Kepler satellite, parallax information is currently of fairly low quality and is not complete. This limits the...

    Raining in MKW 3 s: A Chandra-MUSE Analysis of X-Ray Cold Filaments around 3CR 318.1
    We present the analysis of X-ray and optical observations of gas filaments observed in the radio source 3CR 318.1, associated with NGC 5920, the brightest...

    Ram Pressure Stripping in Planetary Nebulae
    We present two-dimensional numerical simulations of the evolution of a low-mass star moving supersonically through its surrounding interstellar medium (ISM). We...

    Rapid Rotation of Low-mass Red Giants Using APOKASC: A Measure of Interaction Rates on the Post-main-sequence
    We investigate the occurrence rate of rapidly rotating (v{sin}i >10 km s‑1), low-mass giant stars in the Apache Point Observatory Galaxy Evolution Experiment...

    Rayleigh-Taylor Instability in Partially Ionized Compressible Plasmas
    We study the modification of the classical criterion for the linear onset and growing rate of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI) in a partially ionized...

    Reconstructing the Photometric Light Curves of Earth as a Planet along Its History
    By utilizing satellite-based estimations of the distribution of clouds, we have studied Earth's large-scale cloudiness behavior according to latitude and...

    Reconstructing the Stellar Mass Distributions of Galaxies Using S4G IRAC 3.6 and 4.5 μm Images. II. The Conversion from Light to Mass
    We present a new approach for estimating the 3.6 μm stellar mass-to-light (M/L) ratio Upsilon3.6 in terms of the [3.6]-[4.5] colors of old stellar populations...

    Recovering Age-Metallicity Distributions from Integrated Spectra: Validation with MUSE Data of a Nearby Nuclear Star Cluster
    Current instruments and spectral analysis programs are now able to decompose the integrated spectrum of a stellar system into distributions of ages and...
